Red Sled Initiative 2017

The Seminole Lake Rotary Club presents the Red Sled Initiative, a project dedicated to enriching the lives of some 2500 children who are in the foster care system and their families currently associated with Eckerd Community Alternatives. Eckerd is one of the largest non-profit child and family service organizations in the United States dedicated to offering children and their families a second chance. For most, the holiday season is a time of joy but, for many, food and gifts are not a given! The Red Sled Initiative is a project created to fulfill that need!
